339: Chapter 339 The market is bad, the boss is hiring.

Here, Shen Fei looked at the camera again, his eyes filled with contempt for all his competitors.

"Those who say we're just using gimmicks might as well go to our offline stores and experience it for themselves."

Saying this, he looked behind him again. "Have our offline stores started stocking up yet?"

"Don't worry, Boss. We've already started stocking. The renovation and upgrade of some flagship stores are almost complete. At that time, there will be a dedicated showroom for everyone to visit and experience."

Shen Fei nodded, then looked back at the big screen. "When it comes to technology and experience, we are serious.

We have been working on smart homes for four years, with no news at all during that time. Why did we do this? Because we are not building flashy, superficial products, but technology that truly solves users' pain points.

If building solid technology and keeping the business simple is called disrupting the market, then this industry is long overdue for a shake-up.

Since our competitors are welcoming us so warmly, I will give everyone a surprise at the launch event."

These words completely excited the audience, who were continuously spamming the bullet comments.

"Holy crap, so there are so many sensors behind the one-touch preservation feature. I thought it was just a regular button."

"I get it. True user-friendliness is using technology to hide complexity, not cutting features.

Is the current state of the home appliance industry the one that's actually running in place?"

"Before, people were leading the narrative that Transsion is complicated, but now I realize they don't even require an account to bind. You just scan a QR code and you're done."

"Those people probably won't be able to sleep again tonight. After all, Transsion's functions are so simple, and the technology is on a completely different level."

That afternoon, Transsion released another comparison video. On one side was a smart air conditioner from a certain traditional brand; the binding process required registering an account, connecting to Wi-Fi, entering a password, and granting permissions—taking five minutes of hassle just to connect.

If there was a password error or lag in between, it could take even longer.

On the other side was Transsion's air conditioner: scan to connect directly, syncs in two seconds. Elderly users could use it directly with a remote control or by simply saying "comfort mode."

The air conditioner used for comparison was naturally from a certain 'Li' brand. Although Shen Fei was magnanimous in his livestream...

At the end of the video was a line of text: "The user-friendliness of technology is never about ignorance, but about seamlessness."

The next morning, the tide began to turn. Although the bloggers who previously led the narrative continued to do so, the voices in the comment section were noticeably much quieter.

Furthermore, Dong Mingzhe's speech was also dug up by netizens for comparison. It turned out Chairwoman Dong Mingzhu had another line after that: "True technology is when you can't feel its existence."

It could only be said that Chairwoman Dong Mingzhu's concept had been realized by Transsion.

Looking at the public opinion on the internet, a cold smile curled on Shen Fei's lips. Whether it was smear campaigns or mudslinging from competitors, none of it mattered in the face of true technology.

At the same time, bloggers from the Chuan Yin Group took action once again.

Dami Reviews also reposted a message: "I watched President Shen's livestream yesterday. What I want to say is that Transsion's technology is better than everyone imagines.

For example, the cooling speed of their air conditioner is much faster than my Daikin, and the noise is lower.

I asked the staff, and they said the compressor is self-developed, not bought.

The fact that Transsion can even self-develop a compressor already speaks volumes."

As other bloggers spoke up, the comment section became lively once again.

After browsing Weibo, Shen Fei put away his phone and said to Liu Fang, Li Qing, and the others sitting beside him, "Let's go. To Guangming District."

The secretary held a schedule in hand, which listed several projects to be visited today.

"The first stop is the Smart Home Industrial Park in Guangming New District, the second stop is the Air Conditioning R&D Center, and the third stop is the smart speaker production line."

The car departed from the headquarters and drove north. Before long, it arrived at the factories and construction sites.

"Boss, we've arrived," the driver said, stopping the car.

Shen Fei pushed open the car door, and a wave of heat rushed over him.

In July, the ground temperature was at least 40 degrees Celsius, and the concrete ground of the construction site reflected a dazzling white light.

In the distance, the pile drivers were still rumbling, tower cranes rotated slowly in the sky, and workers wearing safety helmets bustled about on the scaffolding.

At least safety measures were being met.

A huge sign stood at the entrance of the construction site, printed with the rendering of Chunyin Home and the project schedule. The project manager, Old Zhou, was already waiting at the entrance.

He wore dirty clothes and a safety helmet, holding a stack of blueprints in his hands.

"President Shen, welcome to the inspection."

Chief Engineer Zhou quickly came forward to greet him. After all, this financial backer was incredibly generous with payments. In all his years in the industry, even now during the peak of the civil engineering sector, things had never gone so smoothly.

After all, as long as there were no issues with the progress, the money would be transferred immediately without any need for prompting.

Furthermore, various subsidies were also paid on time. Sure enough, big companies—or rather, wealthy big companies—were reliable.

"How is the progress?"

Shen Fei shook hands with him briefly and then asked.

Old Zhou opened the blueprints, pointing directly to the dense annotations on them.

"The main structure of the Phase I factory has already been topped out."

"The air conditioner factory will be able to deliver equipment by the end of September and complete trial production by the end of November. The refrigerator factory is slightly slower, delivering equipment in January next year and starting trial production in March.

The washing machine factory will be synchronized with the refrigerator factory."

"Can it be fast-tracked?"

Old Zhou scratched his head.

"President Shen, we are already working two shifts. Unless we add a third shift, but that wouldn't be very cost-effective."

"Don't worry about the money. Quality first, progress second. Get it done as quickly as possible.

Start the three-shift system immediately, and ensure the workers stay safe."

Chief Engineer Zhou nodded. Shen Fei put on a safety helmet and walked into the construction site, with Liu Fang and Old Zhou following behind.

The path beneath their feet was quite bumpy and uneven.

But the management of the construction site was indeed top-tier; there were no broken bricks scattered around.

However, steel rebars could be seen everywhere.

As they walked, Old Zhou introduced everything from the main structure to the functional zones. Shen Fei listened intently, asking a few questions from time to time.

"Is the power supply capacity sufficient? Are there enough logistics channels reserved?

How are the staff dormitories arranged?"

Old Zhou answered these questions diligently.

Shen Fei stood in front of the Phase I staff dormitories and took some photos.

The reinforced concrete skeleton had just taken shape, the shadow of the tower crane was cast on the ground, and workers were still busy.

He posted the photos on Weibo: "The Transsion Smart Home staff factory is under construction. I'm acting as a recruiter today to kick off early hiring ahead of schedule.

Direct factory recruitment with free meals and accommodation, monthly salary starting from 6,000 RMB! [No gimmicks]"

"A monthly salary of 6,000, with meals and accommodation included. The Weibo post by President Chen shouldn't have any catches. I'm packing my bags right now and buying a standing-room ticket to Shenzhen. President Shen, save a spot for me."

"Holy crap, is it really that intense? The factory hasn't even been topped out yet, and they're already recruiting in advance?"

"The pay for tightening screws is really good. But since it's President Shen saying this, will HR actually listen? [doge]"
